I'm reaching out with a few queries regarding yard care, and though I'm not entirely sure I've contacted the correct team, I hope you can either assist or direct me to the right group.
We recently moved into our first home in Dublin, Ohio, in August 2022. Having grown up without a yard, the task of maintaining one is both new and somewhat overwhelming for us. Our yard has become a place of relaxation for me, although I've noticed several types of grass and some bare patches, and I suspect there might be weeds, though I'm unable to identify them.
Currently, I'm mowing the lawn bi-weekly, but I'm eager to learn more about proper yard care. My long-term vision is to cultivate a garden rich in native plants with minimal grass, which I hope to achieve gradually over the coming years. In the interim, I would like to keep the existing grass healthy and vibrant.
I understand that many B.E.H.T members are county extension educators who offer local consultations and even site visits. I would be immensely grateful for such a service. A visit from a knowledgeable individual would be incredibly beneficial as we navigate this new responsibility.
Could you please advise on how to proceed with arranging a site visit or point me towards the appropriate contact for further guidance? Any information or resources you could provide would be deeply appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
